I am employed as a National Account Manager for PPG which is a leading global paint and specialty chemical company.

It really feels like I'm part of a community than just another contributor on anonymous online forum . . .But I've been crunching a few numbers and feel there may be better opportunities in western MA, specifically in Hampden County including places such as Holyoke and possibly Springfield.

It'll get you 2,000 bandit signs if those aren't totally illegal in La Place, which might be your best bet.Remember, there are wholesalers spending $10k/month+ inundating every possible lead source.

@Mark PedrozaLets say im working with a relative (as a minor) and all i do is find leads; the relative signs the contracts and splits the profit.

I’m general, asbestos isn’t like lead and doesn’t need disclosure to tenants.

The market in my area is hot and it seems the deals that I find online are the left overs.

Hello,please, dont go flipping anything from hard money at this time. try door knocking, calling on craigslist, zillow etc to find wholesale dealssave up money then partner with an experienced flipper/rehabber on your first flip.until then, join local groups, meet 5 ppl a day in RE, build a network, provide value to them by supplying leads to them..via wholesale or even referral understand online marketing as well...thats the future, under how technology can be l leveraged in RE.so, you need to MARKET, NETWORK, & AUTOMATEfor now, start with marketing. kill it!!!

@Patrick O.Do you need local or will online work?

Homes are clearly outdated and need things taken care of like lead paint, new windows, paint, etc. 

That said, in both an online and local shopping environment, you can find solid pricing.
